Here is a messsage from the author of our forum software:

The problem described in the message clearly is the browser not [being] enabled to accept permanent cookies from your site. It's one of these great security improvements to not accept permanent cookies by default. The key is not only to allow cookies, but allow permanent cookies.

Anyway, that's clearly not server-side but either the client itself (browser) or a firewall (whatever) or any other "intelligent" hub on the net between client and server.

Check cookie, check firewall. Most likely that'll solve things.
